Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

The far north.

Outside the Snow Emperor's Nest.

The majestic ice crystal palace stood silently amidst the blizzard, like an ancient, unchanging temple.

Outside the palace, in the void.

A tall and aloof figure stood suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, the Snow Emperor was looking up at the sky, her gaze falling on the figure of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

She hadn't observed her younger sister so closely in such a long, long time.

A rare look of solemnity appeared on the snow maiden's fair and frosty face.

In the celestial display.

Hyotei waved its claws, unleashing extreme cold that ravaged the heavens and earth.

The vast expanse of ice is frozen solid, and the sea has become a prison.

The visuals are gorgeous, powerful, and stunning.

But in Xue Di's eyes, all of this seemed... far too obvious.

"younger sister."

Xue Di's voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible pressure.

"Have you failed to cultivate according to Father's teachings again?"

These words were spoken.

It was as if some taboo had been violated.

Hyotei, who was standing to the side, froze instantly, her previously proud expression still on her face.

Subsequently,

He visibly chickened out.

Her body shrank instinctively, her stinger swayed gently, and the whole scorpion seemed somewhat uneasy.

Any younger sister will instinctively feel a bloodline suppression when facing her older sister.

Hyotei, in particular, is no exception.

This suppression has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years since the moment she gained consciousness.

This is not a matter of overwhelming strength.

Rather, it is the absolute dominance that comes from bloodline and from the very word "older sister".

"Um, that..."

Hyotei's voice became much softer.

"Sister, can you... let me explain?"

Her original haughty expression was gone; now, she was unconsciously rubbing her hands together, and her tail was swaying gently.

That appearance.

She looks like a little girl who did something wrong but is trying to be cute and beg for forgiveness.

Wronged Baba.

She looked like she was about to burst into tears.

Looking at her like this, Xue Di's cold eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

finally.

She sighed softly.

He pointed at Hyotei, his tone stern but not truly angry.

"You, you."

I really don't know what to say to you.

"You've become more and more mischievous since Father passed away."

"He must have learned bad habits from that worm."

The voice just fell.

Hyotei immediately bristled.

"No way!"

"What kind of bug is that! I hate it the most!"

She spoke with absolute certainty.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, an unnatural look involuntarily flashed across his face.

That brief pause said it all.

Xue Di narrowed her eyes.

They did not expose him further.

He simply said:

"Alright."

"From today onwards, you must continue to learn the knowledge left behind by your father."

"You must learn it."

"otherwise,"

Her gaze darkened slightly.

"You're not allowed to go out and play anymore."

this sentence.

This was a fatal blow to Hyotei.

Her body stiffened abruptly.

"ah?!"

But this time...

Xue Di did not soften her heart.

Because she knew better than anyone else,

The far north is about to become turbulent.

The canopy was revealed.

Hyotei made the list.

What does this mean?

This means that countless powerful humans will turn their attention here.

Even though Hyotei itself is quite strong.

But what if they really encountered a large group of powerful humans who came with a murderous intent...?

The ending remains perilous.

Rather than letting her run around outside.

Why not just bring her with you?

Xue Di had already made up her mind.

Hyotei could only nod reluctantly.

"Oh……"

The sound was pitifully soft.

While the two sisters were still talking.

in the sky.

The canopy stretching across the continent finally completed its display to Hyotei.

The scene slowly fades away.

Followed by.

A grand, solemn, and unquestionable voice resounded throughout heaven and earth—

[10th Place: Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion]

[Reward: 100,000 years of soul power.]

[Reward: Exemption from one Heavenly Tribulation.]

In an instant!

This voice resounded throughout the entire Douluo Continent!

at the same time.

An indescribable, mysterious power has quietly descended upon the far north.

It is not violent.

It wasn't intense either.

Yet it seemed to transcend the rules themselves.

Silently, it surrounded Hyotei.

This moment.

Even the Snow Emperor fell into a long silence.

Her pupils contracted slightly.

Because she knew better than any other spirit beast,

Just how significant is this reward?

Ten thousand years of soul power.

What does it mean?

It means countless life-or-death battles.

This means hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation.

It means instant success!

And thus spared from one heavenly tribulation...

This one is even more terrifying than the former!

For soul beasts.

Heavenly tribulation is like a sharp blade hanging overhead.

No soul beast is unafraid of heavenly tribulations.

No soul beast would remain indifferent to "exemption from heavenly tribulation".

"This is……"

Xue Di muttered to himself.

"Is this the work of a deity?"

"No……"

Her gaze deepened.

"Perhaps, even stronger than the gods..."

For the first time, she did not simply regard the celestial canopy as something belonging to the divine realm.

Even in her heart.

At this moment, the sky seemed to subtly surpass the gods.

"Father..."

Snow Empress murmured softly.

"If you were here, what would you think?"

at the same time.

Hyotei is completely immersed in the changes brought about by the rewards.

Ten thousand years of soul power surged into her body like a torrent.

It was a feeling that defied description.

It felt as if a force that did not belong to me was forcibly inserted into my body.

But strangely enough...

There was no rejection.

There is no pain.

even……

It feels quite comfortable.

Soul power surged through the meridians.

The level of life is quietly shifting.

Hyotei could clearly feel that they had become stronger.

Moreover, it was extremely obvious.

In addition, there's the reward of "exempting one heavenly tribulation".

Her mood instantly soared to the heavens.

I even found myself thinking of someone.

I was reminded of a "father" who hadn't been home for a long time.

【Humph! 】

[Damn father!]

Next time I see you, I'm going to give you a good beating!

【Who told you to take so long to come back!】

Hyotei thought viciously.

The resentment that had been building up for countless years finally erupted at this moment.

however.

The moment the thought crossed her mind,

The world suddenly changed!

Rumble!!!

Dark clouds rolled across the vast sky.

Thunder is brewing.

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire far north!

This is,

A celestial tribulation lasting five hundred thousand years!

Xue Di's expression changed instantly.

She instinctively took a step forward.

The next moment.

Her movements came to a complete stop.

because,

That heavenly tribulation had just been formed.

They hadn't even had time to lock onto Hyotei yet.

Then, in the next instant, it vanished without a trace.

No lightning struck.

There was no penalty or demotion.

The dark clouds came quickly and went even faster.

It was as if it had never existed.

The sky and earth cleared up again.

Clear sky.

At this moment, Hyotei's soul power was completely stabilized.

She blinked.

Her little mouth was slightly open.

"……what?"

"Is that all?"

"The reward for being spared from the heavenly tribulation..."

"Wow...that's really strong..."

She was still a little taken aback.

And Snow Emperor.

He stared blankly at the sky.

This scene.

It reminded her of a long, long time ago.

Those were the times when I faced near-death experiences.

At that time.

It was also my father who took action.

The lightning punishment was removed from her.

"This is……"

Xue Di's voice trembled slightly.

"The power that only Father can possess."

This moment.

She felt as if she had witnessed a miracle once again.

And such a scene.

For any soul beast on the continent.

These are all irresistible miracles.

Starry Sky Forest.

Lake of Life.

Di Tian had long been unable to maintain the majesty of the Lord of Stars.

He stared intently at the sky.

Its golden pupils almost touched the sky.

And Xiong Jun is standing to the side.

His mouth was wide open.

It's so big that it looks like you could fit a whole sheep inside.

"This, this, this..."

"Such a reward, just given away like that?!"

"Ten thousand years of soul power!"

"Spared from one heavenly calamity!"

Xiong Jun's voice was trembling.

"Can anyone tell me...?"

"Is this really the work of a deity?!"

He was completely shocked.

As a soul beast.

Nothing can resist such temptation.

Especially Brigitte.

She stood to the side, her expression extremely complex.

As the king of healing.

She knew all too well what the Heavenly Tribulation meant.

past.

She has treated the injuries left by the Heavenly Tribulation for Di Tian and Xiong Jun on many occasions.

Those shocking wounds.

It still haunts her to this day.

And herself.

I've been through the same thing.

But now.

As long as you make the list.

That way, one can avoid one heavenly tribulation.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

My gaze unconsciously drifted towards the sky.

murmured softly

"I……"

"Can they make the list too?"

"Hyotei..."

"It seems to be similar to my situation!"

This moment.

Soul beasts from the entire continent.

The flame in my heart.

It was completely ignited.
